Coffee
Bay got its name from a cargo ship that supposedly ran ashore here in
the 19th century and spilled some of its coffee bean shipment on the
shore. Local stories have it that some of these bean took root and grew
into coffee trees, but unfortunately they are nowhere to be seen today.

A misty, untouched bay, haunted by the ghosts of shipwrecked sailors,
in the heart of the Wild Coast. Coffee Bay offers excellent fishing
as well as spectacular walks through coastal bush that is full of bird
life. One of the must see places in this area is the `hole in the wall',
a geological marvel. Various hiking trails abound around the area, the
famous Wild Coast Hiking Trail being one. The rest of the Wild Coast
is also worth-while exploring, as is the Sunshine Coast and East London.

Coffee Bay has the advantage of being accessible by tarred road from
the N2 and is just the place for those holiday makers who are looking
for a nice, out of the way place, with activities like swimming, shell
collecting, walking, fishing, surfing, spearfishing, scuba diving, horse
riding and golf.
